Hi everyone,

My R9 270x just broke off, while no onboard vga with my motherboard (with AMD FX-8320, 8GB RAM). I am looking for a new graphic card, but a bit tight on budget here.
My question is GT 1030 is good enough for replacement? I usually play GTA, The Witcher etc. Is there any other option other than GT 1030, around the same price?

Thank you
(Sorry for my bad English)

Well, then I see your point. Yes, the GT 1030 will be a good choice. It can even game a little with reduced settings.
If you want, you can spend even less (no gaming) and get a $25 card like this to hold you over until you save up some more money to get a decent card.
--or--
You could wait until you can add another $10 (+tax/shipping if any) to the budget you have now and get a 2GB...

My budget around $90. I am considering RX 550/560 or GTX1050, but those are more expensive. It will be downgrade, but I don't have much budget now, and I cannot use my computer at all.

You could wait until you can add another $10 (+tax/shipping if any) to the budget you have now and get a 2GB RX-460. It is about equal to the R9-270X you had in performance.

Btw, your English is perfect. I don't even detect an accent ;)
